  • When Mayors Use School Choice As a Reform Strategy
    When Mayors Use School Choice as a Reform Strategy by Kenneth K. Wong Brown University Box 1938, 21 Manning Walk Providence, RI 02912 Phone: 401-863-1486 Email: [email protected] Francis X. Shen Harvard University 1737 Cambridge St. Cambridge, MA 02138 Email: [email protected] Lauren M. Pachucki Vanderbilt University Email: [email protected] Paper prepared for the 2006 Annual Meeting of the American Educational Research Association, April 7- 11, 2006, San Francisco, CA Wong, Shen, & Pachucki Mayors & School Choice Page 1 When Mayors Use School Choice as a Reform Strategy I. INTRODUCTION All political scientists who study education policy start their analysis with a similar premise: “educational reform does not take place in political vacuum.”1 Studies of the politics of school choice have focused primarily on state-level political dynamics (Mintrom 2000, Henig, et. al. 2002, Wong & Shen 2004). This line of research makes sense since the charter school market is initially created and subsequently altered by the state legislature. In this paper, however, we break from this trend and focus our attention on local government and the politics of school choice. Specifically, we examine the relationship between school choice and big city mayors. Our preliminary analysis finds that mayoral positions on school choice is influenced not only the existing legislation governing school choice in their city, but also by their city’s size and racial composition. Although the state legislature writes the charter school or voucher laws, mayors play important roles in the legislative and policy enactment process. At the legislative level, mayors can influence the type of laws that are enacted by working with state legislators and lobbying for more choice options.

These were ideas simultaneously being explored in visual art, which was engaged in a similar resetting of boundaries as Pop, Minimalism and conceptual art replaced Abstract Expressionism, with which modern dance was closely aligned; for one, both were preoccupied with working on the floor, as in the paintings of Jackson Pollock and the dances of Martha Graham. Postmodernists remained keen on gravity, however. Certain choreographers would come to treat the floor as a dance partner, just as multidisciplinary artists like Ana Mendieta and Bruce Nauman used it in their performance pieces as a site for symbolic regeneration or heady writhing. Forti considered her work as much dance as sculpture, its human performers art objects like any other — but it hardly mattered, since, for this brief and exceptional window, art, dance and music were almost synonymous. The s New York art scene was famously small, and disciplines blended together as a result. In time, though, the moment of equilibrium passed and the community collapsed, reality itself acting as a sort of score. After the last Judson dance concert in , Childs taught elementary school for five years to support herself before returning to the field.

The majority of the witnesses appealed to the President of the Court for permission to give evidence in Provengal, saying that it was the only language of which they had complete command. Parisian advocates engaged in the case objected on the ground that they did not understand Provengal; but the President replied that they could avail themselves of the services of an interpreter, and that, in the interests of exact truth, the request of the witnesses would be granted.
